Chapter 598 The Spokesperson
He, a renowned singer, surprisingly agreed to become the spokesperson for a medication aimed. at treating men’s kidney problems.
Also, there were advertising slogans about men being too weak.
Irritation was evident on Eric’s face. “Didn’t you say I was supposed to be the company’s spokesperson?”
Upon receiving the advertisement, the agent also took a sharp intake of breath. “Hey, I think there might be some misunderstanding here. Eric is an international singer. If he were to accept this kind of advertisement, it would put him in a difficult situation.”
Had it not been for the scandalous rumors from the previous night, they wouldn’t have hurried over to sign the contract. Many previous endorsements were on the brink of termination, requiring compensation.
Beneath his gold–rimmed glasses, Mason’s eyes were filled with mockery. Daring to seduce a married woman and still wanting to be the company’s spokesperson?
“I’m not mistaken. Mr. Palmer is only suitable for such advertisements right now. If he becomes the spokesperson for our company, it might damage our corporate image,” Mason said.
Eric suddenly got up. “What do you mean? You guys are messing with me on purpose, aren’t you? I’m not doing it!”
With that, Eric wanted to walk away.
A chill settled in Mason’s eyes. “You’re free to leave, but you must pay the penalty for breaking the contract. It’s five hundred million!”
As Nathaniel’s personal assistant, Mason was no ordinary figure.
He knew that Eric had everything but money at that moment.
Thankfully, it was due to the news on the internet. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to pinpoint his weakness.
Five hundred million? A surge of anger welled up in Eric, and without a second thought, he raised his hand, ready to strike Mason.
Mason swiftly sidestepped, “Mr. Palmer, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Our company has the best legal team. If you lay a hand on me, the compensation you’ll have to pay will be even higher. Think it over carefully. You wouldn’t let your father, who’s over sixty years old, repay this sum of money for you, would you?”
Holding the contract, Mason strode out of the room with his long legs.
The agent managed to restrain the infuriated Eric.
If Eric had hit Mason and made the news again, his reputation would have been ruined.
Even the most prominent superstar could be ruined by actions such as assault or involvement with a married woman.
Moreover, the agent found Mason to be quite familiar, as if they had met somewhere before.
“Eric, why do I feel like this company is intentionally targeting you?” the agent remarked. Typically, when people hire a superstar, they aim to capitalize on their star power to the fullest. Why would anyone let them shoot such an advertisement? Isn’t that like sabotaging the talent they’ve brought in?
“Did you offend someone?” the agent asked again.
A sense of calm gradually washed over Eric. “Who could I have possibly offended?” he questioned.
“I’ve also looked into the person in charge of Imminence Corporation, and we don’t have any past grudges. It’s really strange.”
The person in charge that the agent had investigated was a public figure from Imminence Corporation instead of Nathaniel.
In the CEO’s office on the top floor, Nathaniel subtly lifted his eyebrows when he heard Mason’s report.
So what if you’re a celebrity? Nathaniel was intent on pushing Eric down into the mire, leaving the latter unable to rise. Nathaniel was curious to see if Cecilia would still find him endearing then.
“Mr. Rainsworth, he’s handsome, right? I’ll send him to Alendor to shoot this commercial.” Mason was particularly adept at harming others without any gain for himself.
Nathaniel didn’t reject, which essentially meant he agreed.
Imminence Corporation wasn’t afraid of ruining a celebrity, but these celebrities couldn’t afford to offend Imminence Corporation.
Even in the recent past, everyone in Tudela was more cautious than the next.
Overseas Imminence Corporation had acquired numerous small–scale businesses and was aggressively.pursuing various collaborations. This caused a great deal of concern among the established companies in Tudela.
In private, everyone was investigating who the boss behind Imminence Corporation was. They even invited numerous businesspeople from Tudela to join a gathering, discussing ways to deal with Imminence Corporation.
They hadn’t invited Nathaniel, feeling that he was of no use anymore. They thought seeking him out would have been a waste of time.
Vivian, on the other hand, was going to accompany George to attend the event.
